Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but I thought attendance was around

EAA has been putting out phony attendance #'s for decades. Their
latest IRS filing reported only $4.9 million for "Fly-in
Registrations." Do the math on what it costs to buy daily tickets to
get in and the avg number of days people stay.

Registration earnings probably don't reflect attendance. They probably
reflect campsite rentals @ $19/day.
